Effective Treatment Begins with a Comprehensive Plan

Treatment can be thought of as organic, ever changing. A treatment plan is a continually changing plan that reflects how the client is going to become well, step-by-step. It serves as a road map, taking the client from illness to wellness! If a client has severe medical issues, she is referred to a cardiologist, gynecologist, orthopedic surgeon, gastroenterologist, or a dentist.

At Mirasol the whole person is treated — not just parts of her. If new symptoms appear while the resident is with us, we make sure those symptoms and their origins are immediately addressed.

They treat all residents with dignity and respect, even down to our youngest 12 year old. Mirasol believes that this is the only way anyone can heal. The staff has a great deal of empathy and compassion for the clients. They are aware that the intensity of emotions that some residents feel can keep them locked into a vicious cycle.

The staff is committed to help the client find a new path with different behaviors, ways of thinking, and coping mechanisms. Mirasol's integrative, individualized approach helps women, boys, and girls:
